[stringtemplate-interest] Managing template parameters

[Nathan Ward]

I'm aware of that, but how can I make a JUnit test for the subtemplate if it
uses an attribute that is not passed as a formal parameter? Hmmm, I guess I
can create a template inline in my test code that uses the template that I'm
testing, which is a string group template file. I'll try that. Thanks!

They can see any attribute of any template enclosing. For example, if you
set the page name in the overall page template, any template embedded in
that page, no matter how deeply nested, can reference that attribute.
